Transfer News

As we go into the last week of the transfer window still no big deals have been done. The search for a centre back continues although it is rumored we are close to finalising a move for Gary Cahill and have agreed personal terms but not a price as yet. Although it looked a certainty that Bendtner would go he still hasn't left, sadly, but he may be included in the deal for Gary Cahill.
Eden Hazard also looks close to signing but I expect this to be confirmed after the Man U game so as not to distract the team and take away attention from a vital game. I think he would be a top signing and certainly a player for the future and one to fill the void left by Fabregas and Nasri. However there may be a few issues with his with his behaviour which have meant him being left out of a Belgium squad. This could mean he ends up the same way as Nasri.

Another player who Arsene appears to be interested in is M'vila who is a strong CDM who would be likely to replace the inconsistent Alex Song in that role. Coming in at around £20m he won't be cheap but he is a top quality player. He currently plays for Rennes but despite being 21 has played for France and made a exceptional performance vs England.

There is also a possibility of a striker coming in as a result of the loss of Bendtner and this could be Zarate who plays for Lazio. He already has premier league experience after playing for Birmingham on loan however failed to impress. The 24year old would cost around £14m.

Arsenal fans would also have been excited by the news of talks with Real Madrid with Kaka about a possible transfer however talks broke down yet again due to too higher wages. A loan bid from Arsenal was also rejected as Arsenal would only pay 75% of his £150,000 a week wages.

As usual we will have to just sit tight over the next few days and hope our trust in Arsene pays off.
